I know a lot of you guys would have alarms on your cars, but what extra steps do you take to try and prevent people from driving away with your car???? Like pulling something off the engine or installing a kill switch somewhere on the car. I have an alarm, imobaliser, club lock but still feel like i need something more....

I was away for 3 weeks recently and left my car parked unattended. I'm guessing you have a s2 r33 so dunno how this would work, i have a s1, with external ignitor so i took that off and put cling wrap over the plugs (to stop moisture getting in) - only 4 screws hold it in place. They cant drive the car off unless they have a replacement one handy hehe.... can still push/tow it tho if they are really enthusiastic.

The measures you have are all deterents and preventative measures...if they really want your car, they will get to it by hook or by crook if they can't start it they'll take it away on a flatbed.. One of the things I am very particular about is where I park. Choose your spots well and you should be fine. I'd drive around a carpark for half an hour if I have to jst to find the spot I want (close to shopping center entrances, where there are heaps of passers by etc...). And never park out on the road overnight if you can help it. Oh and hidden kill switch helps if you want to go that extra mile. :)

As all of the above are great ideas, most dont have good toilet training...

Trick is to make your car the least or less unattrative to steal.

So HIDE EVERYTHING. Cds, amps, anything and everything. Even loose change. Do not have anything visible, turbo timers etc as well. Steering wheel cover for a sports wheel. That will stop the smash and grab, or the 'this is easy to nick' people.

Park it where its hard to get. Multi level carpark for instance, no flat bed is getting in there is it. Park next to walls, means only one side of the car can get damaged by another car.

A good alarm also helps. Better yet, get your own wheel clamps. And put a parking ticket on the window. Whos going to steal that!

Alarm & Immobiliser

Kill Switch or 2

Park in visible spot

Park in between two concrete pilons or by a wall

Turn the wheels full lock if gone for a long time*

Steering Lock when exiting car; make it lock up

Club lock

Removable Steering Wheel

Chain in Wheel/s

* If they were to hit your car with a flat bed; the full lock would slow them down a bit (hopefully long enough for someone to realize what's going on)

direct wire to battery, and pull the extra 30v fuse...... no power to fuel pump = car wont start !

:wave:

edit: a local ezipark car park here in adelaidew had a car totally stripped clean late last year... was parked in an area the camera couldnt see.......................... they reckon it would have taken hrs to strip it. Doors, seats, wheels, electronics, etc etc etc

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      I thought Australia got rid of the "drag dodgy fuel up to 91 RON with ethanol", which is why all E10 advertise as "up to 94 RON" ? Anyway I put E10/91 in the missus' Mazda because she empties the tank weekly, when all my cars get 98RON. tl;dr - turbo - 98 RON, if you can't afford that, sell it and get a commuter car (or tune your car for 91, which no one does).

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...

      Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      Lock up the old for sale / wtb threads.

      Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
